Never used ALA but milk thistle seems to work.

Tylers Detox is the best liver supplement on the market. I've used the following during my cycles, with tri-weekly bio-chem profiles.
In order of effectiveness:
Tylers
Liv-52
ALA
Milk thistle


Even though I have never had a serious problem with elevated AST, ALT, and GGT; Out of the 4, milk thistle did the least in lowering AST and ALT levels. Tylers having the greatest effect.

I don't know, I just posted this question on IBB, so hopefully Pheedno will see.

[lord humongous]

I use both ALA and milk thistle...Milk thistle 1000mcg...ALA 1500mg a day. But for liver protection I think you can run the ALA at 600mg. Never tried Tyler's or Liv. 52.
